Pembrolizumab induces HIV latency reversal in people living with HIV and cancer on antiretroviral therapy

Thomas S. Uldrick et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of anti-PD-1 antibodies on reversing HIV latency. The results showed that administration of anti-PD-1 antibodies increased the levels of unspliced HIV RNA and the RNA:DNA ratio in CD4(+) T cells. There was also an increase in the frequency of CD4(+) T cells with inducible virus. The study suggests that combining anti-PD-1 with other interventions may help reduce the HIV reservoir.

Aurelien Marabelle et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced anal squamous cell carcinoma, showing that it may be a favorable treatment option for this disease. Efficacy analysis showed an objective response in 11% of patients, while safety analysis revealed treatment-related adverse events in 61% of patients.

Use of pembrolizumab with or without pomalidomide in HIV-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Kathryn Lurain et al.

Summary: The most common malignancy among people living with HIV in the USA is Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The study found that using pembrolizumab with or without pomalidomide to treat HIV-associated NHL elicited responses in several subtypes of HIV-associated NHL. This approach is worth further study in individuals living with HIV and NHL.

Exclusion of patients living with HIV from cancer immune checkpoint inhibitor trials

Kruti B. Vora et al.

Summary: Despite increasing evidence of the safety and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH), most cancer ICI trials still exclude this population, with only a few studies allowing PLWH to participate if their HIV is well-controlled. Early phase trials tend to exclude PLWH more frequently than late phase trials, and there has been no significant change in the exclusion rate of PLWH in recent years compared to 2014.

Summary: Cancer immunotherapy based on checkpoint inhibitors has shown durable clinical benefit in melanoma and other tumors. However, treating cancer in patients with chronic infections or immunosuppression requires a multidisciplinary approach to reduce the risk of complications.
